What does it mean for you?

July 22, 2025

Every single employee will get a raise, and no one will be paid less than $60k. Every employee who stays with the university will eventually earn the maximum of their pay grade without having to change roles. 

If our proposal is accepted, you will receive back pay as if you had received your 3% COLA in January 2025, and you will be placed on the new step scale (further bumping your salary) starting from July 2025.

One full-time job will be enough to pay your bills, and you will get more economic security every year instead of losing purchasing power.
